Competing

[Kiwi129]

Hey Guys,

I've put on a lot of mass since I started and feel I have a physique that I could compete with in a teen show. I'm still relatively thin, but am pretty lean and have pretty full muscles for my stature. If I posted pics on here would you guys give me your opinions? Am I allowed to do that?

[PuSHiT89]

well of course... but wrong section :)

Let's see what u got bro

[MetalAsh12]

I agree, let's see what you've got...

[feelthepain12]

There's been a few threads with people posting pics so you're fine. Go for it bro, let's see what you're made of.

[Kiwi129]

Heh now I feel like I have something to live up to. It's nothing compared to 90% of the guys on this forum so don't get your hoped up bros.

EDIT: Someone's gotta tell me how to upload pictures.

[MetalAsh12]

Use http://img1.imageshack.us/

It's easy: upload and c&p the link here.

Here's the pics guys. Any comments and criticisms welcome. The lighting in my room isn't the best... which rendered leg shots useless. My camera is built into my laptop so it kinda sucks for that. I'll get them up here sometime soon.

Notes: The one side triceps shot has shitty lighting, my tris are more defined than the picture shows. The one most muscular pose had shitty lighting on my abs (all in shadow)... they are also more defined in that pose.

Sometimes hard to bring a post back to life heh. Just bringing this back up to the top guys, sorry.

[Angst]

What's your height and weight right now and when's the show?
Looks lean in those pics, good job bro

[Shaffer_515]

good and lean

Dont worry about the lighting that shit will come on stage, how old are you and what date or competition you looking to enter?

hey remember you dont need to be as big as the 90% you were talking about you got the heart and the sack to take your shit up on stage!! much respect.

[Kiwi129]

Looking for shows coming up in my area. No set date yet. There has to be one or two in the last weeks of summer or shortly after. In those pics: all taken today with two meals in me, 6'3" and about 175 lbs. I'm up from about 135-140 lbs. last year and pumped. I think I'll need to find a show and a date (awhile from now), try to put on maybe 5-10 more lbs. in the next three months and then lean down over three or four weeks. Odds are I'll put on 5-10 lbs. and still be lean as shit (like always...) so I won't have to diet for very long. Thanks for the encouragement guys.

[MetalAsh12]

lookin' good; your chest might need some work...try doing heavy dumbbell chest presses and some flys.
Lookin' good for 6'3" though. I know how hard it is for you tall guys, much respect.

[Freakshow]

You have a great foundation Kiwi. Keep it up, you still have some work to do, but it takes time. Like the above poster said, your chest really stuck out to me as needing the most work. Keep up the intensity in the gym and make sure your getting your quality calories and protein in. FreakShow

[Kiwi129]

Hey guys now about finding a show... what organizations should I look for? How do I know what shows are "official" and which aren't? How do I go about registering for one? Any help is appreciated.

[Shaffer_515]

If you want look for local shows im my city gyms and countys have thier own little shows to get you some experience in posing and what not, you can always to the "natural" shows with piss and polygraph testing those are pretty good from going to them and talking to guys that have competed,

there are a few sites to check out

http://theocbwebsite.com/
(the site has alot of information check it out)


I am training for the show in pittsburgh in sept. from this place, check out see if anything is close

[Giant Killer]

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbcompsearch.htm is bodybuilding.com's comprehensive contest search engine. The first and last contest finder you will need, unless you are competing locally through gyms. You can tailor your results according to several parameters, date, level, Natural, etc...

Very lean and tight, freaky triceps, good abs, nice small waist, good back /shoulder detail...you are on your way!

What is your caloric intake per day, and cardio, are you doing any?

You look very good, I can tell you bust your ass in the gym!

Hit me up if you need any help!

Ant.

[spartan300]

I say keep hammering away for another year.

[TufffGuY]

I agree, I would just keep bulking if I was you, how old are you?

[Kiwi129]

Heh sorry guys. This is my own post and I let it slip. Thanks to BigAnt for the comments and I probably will be hitting you up for some stuff. I turned 18 in January and have been lifting for just over a year and a half, but seriously into the bodybuilding aspect probably only for the past 9 months or so.

[hjayss]

You got a back that says merry christmas lol...ver good you can tell that you put in the work ...Bring that chest up only thing that stands out very good bro...

[Kiwi129]

Thanks a lot bro. My chest is already improving from those pics. Benching form was the problem... all this fuckin time and THAT was why my chest was lagging. Oh well, you live you learn. It's blowing up now though...

[Texas Titan]

Hey bro, great pics, very lean. Have you picked a show yet? I'm 6'4" and I know adding the weight takes some time, but you are doing great.
